I'm not a programmer, but I cannot understand how spending their time on fancy little tweaks can be considered less wasteful than rewriting a part of the code that is really impractical for the current version of the game, and causes endless headaches for the players - as well as the coders themselves, trying to work with an outdated code. I realise that rewriting is probably a lot of work, but it should be considered an investment for the future: solving many problems now AND accommodating future changes better. Avoiding that and trying to work with the current code when it's clearly no longer suitable for the game sounds very short-sighted.
From a clueless player's point of view, the longer I play this game, the stronger my impression that the programmers working on this are simply incompetent. Perhaps they have good reasons for their actions, but if so, those reasons are not very well relayed to us, and what little we hear through Star rarely sounds very well thought out. It's always band-aid upon band-aid, rarely touching the root of the problem.
